Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (C) Two-parameter distribution

Explanation

The final key selects C, referring to the normal family characterised by mean and variance. The standard normal is specifically N(0, 1), with those two values fixed. Thus it has no free unknown parameters once standardised; do not interpret the keyed classification as two parameters still needing estimation.
